Hello everybody,

I am still trying to run the stepper motor with Machinekit. I configured 
the hal and i was expecting some step/dir signal on the output pins, but 
nothing happens (i am monitoring with the oscilloscope).

I tried to generate steps by changing the hpg.stepgen.00.position-cmd 
signal. I could see the hpg.stepgen.00.position-fb signal that was 
folowing. So everything seems fine here.

The problem seems to be in the output pin configuration. I tried different 
kind of options: 
- to change the pru number from pru=0 to pru=1
- i tried to change the pin location

Can you please suggest what could be the problem,
Regards
Klemen
